Nanny Xin immediately responded and went. When the princess was about to go to bed that night, Nanny Xin returned and reported, "The doctor who examined Miss Zhao's pulse today also happened to come to check on the princess's pulse, so the old princess knew about Miss Zhao's illness."

The princess remained silent upon hearing this: "Just right?"

Nanny Xin lowered her head and said, "Doctor Yang is less than thirty years old, so it wasn't his turn to take the old princess' pulse. However, the old princess liked his witty conversation and his ability to read people's expressions. Plus, his medical skills were decent, so she appointed him. Doctor Yang also visits other families, such as the Yun, Su, and Meng families. He's well-known to these families, and he has some reputation in Yanbei."

The princess curled the corners of her lips. This reserved smile made it impossible for anyone to doubt that she was Xiao Jingxi's biological mother. The two looked somewhat similar.

"A good man should hone his skills while he's young, lest a piece of unpolished jade eventually be corroded by the gentle world and turned into scrap metal. I heard from the prince that Jiajing Pass is in need of a military doctor. Since he is a capable man, let him go to Jiajing Pass to train."

"Yes, Princess, I will do it right away."

"Let him go tonight," the princess added calmly.

Before leaving, Nanny Xin asked again, "Doctor Yang has recently gained the trust of the old princess. What if the old princess finds out and insists on recruiting him back?"

The princess was being helped by her maids to remove the hairpins from her head. She did not hesitate when she heard this: "Since he has gone to Jiajing Pass, he has received military orders. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. If he disobeys, he will be punished by military law. His life is his own. This is not our business."

"Then aren't you going to track down the person who's behind Doctor Yang's actions?"

This time the princess was silent for a moment, then asked, "When will Concubine Yun come back?"

"The Dowager originally said she would return home before the New Year, but later said she wanted to wait until it was warmer before leaving. She should be back soon. Should I send someone to ask about it tomorrow?"

The princess didn't know what she was thinking about, and sighed softly: "You go down."

Nanny Xin said nothing more and left.

The princess was fixing her hair in the mirror, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes that was not easily visible. Su Jin thought she was checking if she had any gray hairs, so she smiled and said, "Princess, your hair is so black and shiny. Many ladies outside have come to ask about the side room you use to wash your hair."

The princess smiled when she heard this, and sighed, "My son is getting married, and I'm getting old."

Several maids hurriedly said: "The princess is not old!"

The princess shook her head. "Everyone grows old. Those who don't grow old are monsters. When I grow old, Jingxi and Jinglin will grow up, and it will be easier for others to bully them. There's nothing wrong with this. I actually hope I can grow old faster."

Several maids looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Su Jin smiled and said, "The young master is about to get married. It won't be long before our palace will have a little young master. By then, the princess will definitely not want to age quickly. You must also want to see the young master get married and have children in the future, and then see the little young master be born..."

The princess was amused by her, then nodded seriously and said, "Yes, you are right. I also want to see my son have many children and grandchildren. My son has suffered so much. My only wish in this life is that he will be safe and everything will go smoothly. As long as it can make him happy and make him joyful, no matter what it is, I think it is good."
